how can history help us understand it? in classical economics, rationing simply means goods and services are distributed by price. in other words not everybody can afford everything they possibly want or need. so supply and demand are controlled by people's ability to pay. rationing by price or by the market goes a long way to describe the u.s. health care delivery system. the government may not officially deny you health-care but many americans cannot get the care their need because they can't afford it. in the u.s. health system until 1986 it was legal for hospitals to turn away patients because they could not pay. that is still true in the case of non emergency conditions. we have a huge number of studies showing economic barriers lead to people not being able to obtain primary and preventive care and even lead to reduced life expectancy. so the u.s. rations health care based on the ability to pay. people without health insurance have trouble getting care or don't get it at all with severe consequences to their health b
